Curious: Are you aware the side emblems are on backwards? I see quite a few like that and wonder if the owners know it or if they prefer them that way? Nice truck but the emblems bump on my OCD tendencies.

The Kindigit color does look really close, didn’t know they had paint colors. Mine is off the new Dodge Charger, Destroyer Grey.

Really? Do you know what it's called? DUH, sorry. I should learn to read! lol

In your photos it looks a little green and I LOVE it. but the color I've seen on the Dodge looks like a plain gray. Is the photo pretty accurate?

It’s hard to get an accurate photos of the color. Here’s an under hood photo that block out reflections. I think this shows the color better

That's why I thought it was the kindigit clay, it has a little green. The under hood shot shows it more grey. I do think it looks great.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

54ChevyLS - Nice job. I like it a lot.

I'm curious about the paint finish. Between the Before pic on the trailer and the later pictures it looks as though you may have treated it with CLR or lightly wet sanded it. What; if anything, did you do?

I'm more of a new paint job guy myself but that looks great (minus the fresh paint job, haha).
nice stance. wheels/tires look good on there too.
